Horse cremation, arranged with care
We're sorry you're going through this. Whether your horse has just died, euthanasia is booked, or you're planning ahead, we'll talk you through your options and put you in touch with an independent equine crematorium, in your own time.
Horse Cremation UK is an independent service that connects horse owners with trusted independent equine crematoria. We don't carry out cremations ourselves. How this service works.

What happens next
- Talk to someone. Leave your number and we'll call you back. There's no pressure to decide anything straight away.
- Choose what feels right. Individual cremation with your horse's ashes returned, or communal cremation. Most equine crematoria collect from your yard, field or vet.
- Your horse is cared for. The crematorium collects your horse and, if you chose individual cremation, returns their ashes to you.
Individual or communal cremation
Individual cremation
Your horse is cremated on their own and their ashes are returned to you, usually in a casket.
Communal cremation
Your horse is cremated with other animals. It costs less, but ashes are not returned.
Typical prices
Prices depend mainly on your horse's size, the casket you choose and how far the crematorium has to travel.
